What a surprise.

I second that!

Oh hardy har har! I said it was a nifty little addition. I do like it. But it's just a tad bit bittersweet to me.

I don't see how you could be dissapointed with it, it is a nifty new feature that we knew ZERO about. It was a pleasant surprise and I'm not sure how you could develop a negative opinion towards something that is basically a bonus.

Pittbboi · « **Reply #27 on:** February 13, 2007, 03:53:01 PM »

I still think it's cute and fun, and could prove to be very useful to Nintendo should they use it to gather opinions on what their fans want from the console.

But I dunno, on the flip side there are just so many things I could see Nintendo improving (fixing the weather channel, allowing external hard drive connection through usb ports, patching broken VC games, improving their online, adding channels people actually WANT and have requested, the list goes on) instead of spending resources introducing a channel that nobody knew about and/or wanted.

It's a neat idea, but as near as I can tell, the channel is like a good-looking castrated guy: cute, but pointless.

The real issue is that all the questions are either/or right now. If they could make it like an internet poll where you have 5-10 options to suggest from, I could see some real use out of it, yes. For example, "which of the following VC games would you want to buy the most?"

Also, it would be nice if they let users post their own polls that would allow everyone on their friend list to vote on, it would be a neat addition.

To you, maybe, but I could see some other people enjoying this. In fact, out of all the non gamer features the Wii has, this is the biggest one of them all. Just think of the Wii as being a News paper.The weather and news channel are the useful parts while the Everybody votes is the arts and leisure session; not necessary but fun to pass the time with.

And Pittboi, they also released a patch for Mario Kart 64, so on that aspect they are working on it.

To be honest, I can't think of any other ideas for Wii Channels right now (aside from a WiiBay auctions...).

IGN posted some interesting ideas for channel. if I remember correctly they were...
- The Sports channel (a more detailed version of the sports section in the news channel)
- The movies and trailers channel: Using the region feature you can check the movie times in your area as well as watch trailers of the latest movies on your Wii
- The demo channel: This HAS to come at one point. The channel allows you to download DS demos onto your DS.
- The sticks channel: Check the stocks, for the bussinesy type

The Wikipedia channel would be nice.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #32 on:** February 13, 2007, 05:05:05 PM »

I've heard rumor of a demo channel for a while now.

How would that be any different from pointing the Wii web browser to wikipedia.org?

It technically isn't a rumor since I do remember a Nintendo official saying that the Wii could be turned into a download station for the DS (I think it was Iwata the one that said it).

ShyGuy · « **Reply #35 on:** February 13, 2007, 06:10:26 PM »

Pap pays off the mods again!

downloading now

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #36 on:** February 13, 2007, 07:52:05 PM »

Disgraceful favoritism, the mods and pap should be ashamed of closing poopyheads thread (or whatever his name is). An outrage!

Right guys?

actually

I picked:
Chocolates/Mountain/22nd Century/Neither(I didn't vote)

I predicted:
Roses/Beach/22nd Century/(coulnd't predict since I didn't vote)

Question I submited:
Would you prefer 2 choices or 3?

Option 1: 2
Option 2: 3

Hopefully they take my question seriously. Its not much of a choice if you only have one other option.
I suggest everyone put in a similar question, so that Nintendo will take notice. This is an online petition of sorts afterall.

JonLeung · « **Reply #40 on:** February 14, 2007, 01:11:53 AM »

Everyone should make a question about Wii online games or particular VC games every day and Nintendo will get the hint.

"Would you download Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars if it was available on the Virtual Console?"
-Yes, I would.
-Well, I wouldn't not.

Etc.

Darkheart · « **Reply #41 on:** February 14, 2007, 01:16:31 AM »

Pssssssssssssssst, you just said Well I would not not. . . .

My question was, Do you think Virtual Console games are overpriced?

-No, they are fine as is.
-Yes, if they were priced a tad bit lower I would feel more confident in buying more obscure titles I havent played.

ryancoke · « **Reply #42 on:** February 14, 2007, 02:44:19 AM »

Darkheart, your going to have to shorten the Yes answer. It want take that many characters. (Knows from experience)

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #44 on:** February 14, 2007, 03:53:34 AM »

How about:

What do you think about the Virtual Console Pricing?

They are great as is, and a good bargain
They could be priced lower, so I could afford more games.

Followed by another question

Would you buy more Virtual Console games if the pricing scheme was:

200 NES, 300 TG16, 500 SNES, 800 N64, 1000 Original

Yes or No.

Ok, I know that the Pricing Scheme question would need to be broken down to single system questions probably.

What do you think about pricing for NES games on the Virtual Console?

1) I like the prices, it is a steal.
2) At 200 or 300 points I would buy more games

What do you think about the SNES game prices on the Virtual Console?

1) I like the prices
2) I believe 500 points is a better deal.

ect.

Or how about this virtual console question.

Would you support and buy Sega Master System games on the Virtual Console?

1)Yes, if the price is good.
2)No, that system does not interest me.

Baby steps, we all know Nintendo like to take progressive baby steps.

But you can always submit the question as
Would you prefer only 2 choices or more than 2 choices?

1.) 2 choices
2.) More than 2 choices

Spak: I would submit one of those every day or the same few over and over again.

Jon: If they were to release SMRPG I definately wouldn't not buy it. I've always wanted to play that game and my friend never let me borrow it.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #46 on:** February 14, 2007, 04:08:36 AM »

BlackNMild:

Actually I agree.

I think we should as NWR community join together, and pick questions about the virtual console to submit to Nintendo every day. We even need to double and triple up each question for about a month to get Nintendo really understanding what their fans think.

If we can get Nintendo to drop virtual console prices in the summer I think it would bring Nintendo more success in the long run.

JonLeung · « **Reply #47 on:** February 14, 2007, 04:36:11 AM »

Well, we know Spak won't help us with a campaign for Super Mario RPG, then!

The NWR community isn't very big, and you should know that Nintendo does its own thing. It'd be as effective as a petition, basically. Maybe a bit more since they know every submitted question is coming from a Wii owner. I suppose it doesn't hurt if you're willing to put in the couple minutes each day to write them out. And Nintendo will take notice if there is enough of an outcry. But when it comes to things like pricing, don't expect them to necessarily budge just because a handful of people tell them they should lower it. Heck, everyone wants lower prices, but some people won't actually buy more games just because of it.

Despite that, I might help sometimes if I had no other ideas for questions and someone had a clear campaign in mind.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #48 on:** February 14, 2007, 06:46:04 AM »

Jon: But if it is selected as a question to then our little community can get a question that the entire world can respond to. The point of the community is to get the question up for consideration by posting it several times.

And if a vote for Super Mario RPG came up, I would say YES I would buy it. Day one.

I like this new little poll system. I has promise.

If you notice, the spot to vote is divided into four quadrants. Currently, only the front two are being used. The setup would easily allow for two additional choices to be added.
